Not sure without looking at structural docs. the architect may have wanted a longer span at the entry for various reasons, requiring the columns to be much larger or handle different lateral loads - but since these columns are right at the front and directly on the street they looked for a solution that was a little bit more thoughtfully designed while saving space. That is my guess. Novel on 3rd st has V columns.
