I've seen it in person, been inside of it. An impressive building indeed. But still the claim was that it was the largest municipal building in the US. I looked it up and saw the claim on other sites, but I still don't believe it.

According to our own SSP

Philadelphia City Hall - 58,529 m²

New York Municipal Building - 85,151 m²
