Dear Pws,

Since I don’t know what kind of answer you are looking for, I’m
posting this as a comment for now. Please let me know in order to post
this as an official answer or to continue my search.

According to the ZooMontana Website, Billings Montana is home to the
largest cat in the world.

Amur (Siberian) Tiger (Panthera Tigris altaica) Habitat 

“Enjoy these magnificent creatures in a setting like the wilds of
Eastern Russia. Yes, Eastern Russia can be found right here in
Billings Montana. Two cats romp within their Habitat. See the largest
cat in the world less than one foot away!”
http://www.zoomontana.org/habitat.html

ZooMontana is a natural wildlife habitat park and botanical garden
encompassing 70 acres in Billings.

Hi there,

I notice that a previous answer to this question was not the one you
wanted. It was my initial answer as well, but there are doubts
involved:

Largest Brick Building
----------------------

One website says the "Sheraton is the largest free-standing all brick
building in the world"
http://www.billingscvb.visitmt.com/press%20releases/ article1.pdf

Sheraton, Billings website
http://www.starwood.com/sheraton/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=356

Unfortunately similar claims appear for other buildings:

Ft. Jefferson

Pension Building, Washington
http://www.thepostcard.com/walt/pub/detroit/detroit.htm

Basilica of Sainte Cecile, Albi
http://www.mairie-albi.fr/eng/arthistory/places/stececile/cathedrale.html



My answer would have been this, but it no longer exists:

World's Largest Antique Farm Tractor Collection
-----------------------------------------------

"world’s largest collection of farm machinery"

"antique tractors, the world's largest collection that runs"

Another possibility is the Leachman ranch, which claims to be the the
world's largest producer of beef cattle seedstock, as well as holding
the "World's Largest and Most Prestigious Bull Sale".
