He was born in Sweden in 1869 and received his architectural degree in 1888 at the Polytechnic Institute of Sweden.[2] After working for a time in New York City and on projects designing army barracks throughout Europe, he moved to Utah in 1902.[3] He became licensed to work in Utah as an architect in 1904 and began the firm Erskine & Liljenberg. He was the architect for the Jordan School District where many of his works were completed including Jordan High School, Taylorsville, Forrest Dale, and Bonneview Elementary schools.[4] He also designed various civic buildings and residences.

Personal life
Niels married Anna Sundh and together they had three children. Sometime around 1920, at seemingly the height of his career in Utah, Liljenberg and his family moved to El Cajon, California. It is uncertain if he continued to work as an architect in California prior to his death on October 8, 1952.
