Thanks for the comments.

My guess is that one person owned a 50ft lot. They then tore down the house and split the lot into two 25ft lots with the intention of living on one of the lots and selling the other (possibly after byulding on the second lot). By owning the second lot they were able to get agreement and build a garage encroaching onto the second lot. They may have preferred a bigger garage or more yard space that the encroachment provided and figured any potential value lost on the second lot was not significant or was worth it.
