Charles Coxwell Small (b 1801) was a wealthy farmer and public official in Upper Canada. Like his father, John Small, Small was the Chief Clerk of Upper Canada's Privy Council. In 1831 Small inherited extensive property from his father. This property included a 1 acre (0.40 hectares) parcel between Front and King, and and what is now , but was then known as Parliament Street, on the original townsite of York, Upper Canada (later Toronto), with a large house, called Berkeley House. Charles Coxwell Small added to the house, transforming it into what Beaches Living called a "mansion". When new Parliament buildings were built, elsewhere, the original Parliament Street was renamed Berkeley after the Small grand home.

  • Charles Coxwell Small (b 1801) was a wealthy farmer and public official in Upper Canada. Like his father, John Small, Small was the Chief Clerk of Upper Canada's Privy Council. In 1831 Small inherited extensive property from his father. This property included a 1 acre (0.40 hectares) parcel between Front and King, and and what is now , but was then known as Parliament Street, on the original townsite of York, Upper Canada (later Toronto), with a large house, called Berkeley House. Charles Coxwell Small added to the house, transforming it into what Beaches Living called a "mansion". When new Parliament buildings were built, elsewhere, the original Parliament Street was renamed Berkeley after the Small grand home. He also inherited a 472 acres (191 hectares) parcel bounded by what is now Queen, , Danforth and Kingston Road, then outside of the city limits. Coxwell Avenue is named after Charles Coxwell Small. Small dammed the creek on his rural property, to harness the waterpower for a sawmill. The large pond this created was named Small's Pond. The largest of the creeks he dammed was renamed Small's Creek.
