In 1907 he moved to Moscow, where in a short time he became one of the leading architects of Moscow Art Nouveau. Zeligson’s customers were mostly Jewish entrepreneurs. He built respectable apartment buildings, banks, mansions. Most of the buildings of Zeligson bore the imprint of the French Art Nouveau, and elements of the apartment building of M.P.
