Surely 🧝Elrond and Círdan aswell?!

"From the Encyclopedia of Arda"

Tolkien probably leaves details of the Tower's construction vague intentionally, as it was hidden by a cloud of shadow and darkness at all times. The only characters in The Lord of the Rings to actually see Barad-dûr were Frodo and Sam as they journeyed to Mount Doom: '...rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr...' (The Lord of the Rings 6 III: Mount Doom).

But surely Elrond and Círdan aswell?! i mean they were there at the first sack of the city when Sauron was over thrown for the first time, and surely they travelled to it to view it for certain purposes and they must have helped to "take it apart"...

yeah, but I'm sure Sauron had a lot of it rebuilt after he returned to it, so only Frodo and Sam saw it the way it was at the time of the War of the Ring.

Celebthol, the Encyclopedia of Arda - while an excellent database of knowledge - is known to contain a few errors here and there. Leaving out Círdan and Elrond might be one of these, or you might interpret it the way Niniel did.
