Open to a brick wall
Is this natural? How would you say this?
The elevator stopped between floors and the elevator door opened to a brick wall. (The door opened and there was a brick wall)
Thank you

This works for me because a journey comes "to" a destination, and an elevator in particular comes "to" a stop. "On'" would be another choice, because we often use that preposition to indicate what we find once we're past the door: The French doors opened on a formal garden.
