All of mayors staff. All of city council staff. City council meeting chamber. Recorder of deeds staff. City commissioner staff. Every judge in the court of common pleas. Courtrooms for those judges, etc.

Every civil court judge in Common Pleas. Criminal is in the CJC on Filbert.

added: I found an old directory of the building online which has to be ~20 years old, and so while many of the names are outdated (or dead), the offices which are in the building remain. Of note, and I should have said this the first time: the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has a gorgeous courtroom in the building which it uses a few times every year.

That is gorgeous. It’s quite interesting to see rooms I know I’ll never really step foot in, but with such a beautiful design it should be seen by more people

The movie Philadelphia shot its courtroom scenes in room 243. (And look at a 30-year-old skyline, including the remains of One Meridian Plaza.)

And lunatics tried burning down the building in 2020. Hence, these guys.

If that's the same room, they've had blood donation events there. Really nice to look at the beautiful ceiling while pumping blood.
