Might of had something to do with the earlier architecture of the building on the corner. I read when they built the "l", they had build it in available space. It may have been at one time, that that building, or one prior to that building, stuck out far enough where they had to make a corner that way. Eventually, the addition was torn down, or the building there now is newer. Anyway, they never adjusted the tracks.
There's also another famous section of Chicago's "L" that snakes in an "S" over a parking lot. Origianlly. the "L" snaked between two buildings. When the buildings were torn down, the tracks were left in an "S". I read that Chicago was going straighten it out.
