Berkeley House, York, Upper Canada

Berkeley House was a prominent house in York, Upper Canada. It was the home of two Clerks of Upper Canada's Privy Council, John Small, and his son Charles Coxwell Small. John Small bought a one acre parcel of land with a large log cabin on it in 1795, which he covered in stucco, and expanded. Upper Canada's first small Parliament buildings were built next door to Berkeley House. Small is reported to have hosted meetings of the Province's Executive Committee in his home.

Charles Coxwell Small further expanded the house. It included multiple large rooms, including one 18x45 feet.

The building was demolished in 1925.
