Lindeberg began his career as an assistant
draftsman with the noted architecture firm
McKim, Mead & White, where he assisted
Stanford White with the
James L. Breese House in Southampton, New York. He left the firm in 1906 to form a partnership with fellow McKim, Mead & White draftsman Lewis Colt Albro. They worked together until 1914. After the partnership dissolved, Lindeberg continued to design works that ranged from large country estates to suburban villas. His office received commissions from across the United States. His clients included many of the leading business, professional and cultural figures of the era. 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.
