K.A. Bush has asked whether there is a symmetric Hadamard matrix of order m2, m even, which can be partitioned into an m × m array of m × m blocks, such that:

(i) each diagonal block has every entry 1;

(ii) each non-diagonal block has every row-sum zero?

We give two ways of constructing such matrices.
