We use neutron scattering to study the spin and lattice structure of single-crystal ${\text{SrFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, the parent compound of the FeAs-based superconductor $(\text{Sr},\text{K}){\text{Fe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$. We find that ${\text{SrFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ exhibits an abrupt structural phase transition at 220 K, where the structure changes from tetragonal with lattice parameters $c>a=b$ to orthorhombic with $c>a>b$.
