The mill is a complex of buildings constructed primarily between 1881 and 1922. The revitalization of this area started in the mid-90ís when people saw hope for this historical neighborhood and began moving in, renovating, and turning the area into an eclectic, artsy, up and coming area. Today lofts and other new housing developments mark the community, and restaurants and local artists shops are growing in the numbers.

The name "Lake Claire" derives from the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Claire Drive. There never was a "Lake Claire," rather Lakeshore was named after the now-dry artificial "Lake Poinciana," formerly at the north intersection of Claire. Streets now in the Lake Claire neighborhood were originally surveyed as a few separate developments. These became incorporated into Atlanta one-by-one around the 1910s. Today Lake Claire is a neighborhood unit recognized by the City of Atlanta. Although some developers built groups of houses, much of Lake Claire has been sold as empty lots with individuals constructing their own houses.

Today you can still see many of the original Craftsman-style bungalows and Tudor revival brick homes in their forested setting. Peachtree Hills has the warmth and charm of a real neighborhood, while being located in the heart of Atlanta and is close to Marta, the park, shopping centers, restaurants, and Piedmont Hospital.
