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.

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.
