He might best be compared to contemporary Art Deco and Streamline Moderne skyscraper architects such as Raymond Hood, Ely Jacques Kahn, and Ralph Thomas Walker.

He left the firm in 1906 to form a partnership with fellow McKim, Mead & White draftsman Lewis Colt Albro.

[3] After the partnership dissolved, Lindeberg continued to design works that ranged from large country estates to suburban villas.

In Chicago he designed fine residences on the North Shore for the Armour family; in Houston his clients included many oil barons who resided in the "Shadyside" district; in New Jersey he built for Wall Street figures and businessmen such as Gerard Lambert; on Long Island his clients were self-made millionaires in the mold of Jay Gatsby.

His best-known houses include Glencraig for Michael Van Beuren in Middletown, Rhode Island and the Paul Moore residence (now demolished) in Convent Station, New Jersey.
