Photos of Horst Wessel Haus?

Are there any photos in existence of Karl Liebknecht Haus during the Nazi era, when it was renamed Horst Wessel Haus? One would think they would exist as evidence of the National Socialist triumph over their hated rival the KPD, but I cannot seem to find any.

The building still exists, and today is the home of the German Left Party (Die Linke).
Apparently, tonight, the 85th anniversary of the death of Horst Wessel, this memorial was placed there.

I'm fascinated that even so many years later, the Brown and Red of Berlin are still going at it, even on such a small scale.
