June 7, 1885, will be remembered as a day of shame for the textile community in Richmond, Virginia. In a brazen heist, thieves targeted the storied rug emporium of Levy Davis on Main Street, making off with a staggering assortment of valuable carpets and tapestries. The losses are estimated to be in excess of $418.80, a sum so substantial that it has left many in the community reeling.
