In 1912, Lidvall took part in the closed competition of the Southwest Railway for the project of the building of the Kiev Central Railway Station , in which he received the second prize, and in the competition of the Ministry of Transportation and the Academy of Arts for the project of renovation of the building of the Nikolai- Train station in St. Petersburg (both competitions were won by Vladimir Alexeyevich Shchuko ).

After the October Revolution , Lidvall was expropriated and had to leave for Stockholm, where he had sent his family a year earlier. He was married to Margarete Frederike Eilers (1885–1962), whose father Hermann Friedrich Eilers had come to St. Petersburg from East Frisia and had become an important gardener and florist. Lidvall's brother-in-law Konstantin Hermanowitsch Eilers was an architect and built the Hotel Astoria in St. Petersburg from 1911 to 1912 based on Lidvall's project.
